Citigroup recently hired S.K. Kang, structurer in Credit Suisse First Boston's emerging markets group in Seoul, for a similar position on its fixed income desk. "This further strengthens our team," said Alex Park, head of the financial markets group at Citi in Seoul.
Kang, who reports directly to S.B. Hwang, head of derivatives marketing in Seoul, and ultimately to Park, confirmed the move but declined further comment. Hwang was on vacation and could not be reached for comment.
At CSFB, Kang reported to Lars Sorensen, director in the emerging markets group in Singapore. Sorensen did not respond to messages.
